GEORGE OANDEE, OF BEREA, KENTUCKY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO CORYDON L. TAMBLING, OF OBERLIN, OHIO.

IMPROVEMENT IN HEATlNG-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,306, dated May 28, 1872.

To all whom it may concern: m

Be it known that I, GEORGE CANDEE, of Berea, Kentucky, have invented an Argand Fuel-Burner; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specification Figure 1 being a side elevation of said invention; Fig. 2, a vertical section in the line g y of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a horizontal section in the line 00 w of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4, a vertical section in the line 2 z of Fig. 3.

Similar letters indicate the same parts in the drawing.

My Argand fuel-burn or is divided into three compartments, viz., the fuel-combustion chamber A, the ash-pit B, and the gas-burning chamber 0. The fuel-combustion chamber A grating D, and from the gas-burnin g chamber fire-grating D is supported by the horizontal shaft k in the usual manner. A tube, E, descends from its connection with the horizontal portion of the partition 10 nearly or quite to,.the fire-bars of the grating D. The lower portion of said tube E is composed of a grating, or is properly perforated and of sufficient strength and stiffness to resist the action thereupon of the fuel that may be thrown against and around the same as it is supplied to the chamber of fuel-combustion. The tube E opens at the top into the gasburning chamber O, and is surmounted in said chamber by the Argand burner j, as shown in Fig. 2. By means of the aperture lin the stove-door h, the corresponding aperture in the front side of the base of the Argand burner j, Fig. 2, and the apertures n n in the body of the fuelburner, air is freely admitted to the air-chamber a, surrounding the portion of the tube E that rises above the partition 12 and by means of the perforations m m in that portion of said tube the air passes freely into the same, and in sufficient quantities to mingle with and aid in producing a perfect combustion of all the smoke and consumable gases that may pass from the chamber A of fuel-combustion through said tube to the gas-consuming chamber 0. When fire is first started in the chamber of fuelcombustion, the door f in the partition 10 is opened, and should remain open until the fuel therein becomes thoroughly ignited; and then said door should be closed, which will cause the gaseous products of combustion to be drawn through the midst of the incandescent fuel into the tube E; and as they escape therefrom, through the Argand burner at its head, into the chamber (3, all of the smoke and the consumable gases-therein will be consumed, while the unconsumable portions thereof will escape from said chamber through the aperture q into the draught-pipe or chimney.

The eduction-open'ing in the head of the Argand burner j may be reduced in width by placing a hood, 1?, over the same, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Fuel is admitted to the chamber of fuelcombustion through the door 9. Suitable provision is made for the admission of air to the ash-pit B, and also for the removal of the ashes therefrom.

Should it be deemed necessary, openingst may be formed in the sides of the chamber of fuel-combustion for the admission of air thereto, to mingle with the gaseous products of combustion therein prior to their being drawn into the perforated tube E to mingle with the air that passes directly into said tube from the ash-pit B.

I claim as my invention- 1. The arrangement of the perforated tube E withthe ash-pit B, the chamber of fuel-- combustion A, the air-chamber e, and the gasburning chamber 0, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

2. The combination of the Argand-burner j with the perforated tube E, when said tube is arranged with the ash-pit B, the chamber of fuel-combustion A, and the gas-burning chamber 0, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

3. The combination of the hood z with the Argand-burnerj, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony that the aforegoing is a full and exact specification of my improved Argand fuel-burner, I hereunto subscribe my name this 5th day of February, 1872.

GEORGE CANDEE.
